Used 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Crew Cab Consumer Reviews
Best Truck I've Ever Purchased
In my 1st couple thousand miles of use, I can say that this is the best truck I've ever owned. The ride is very comfortable, the performance is excellent and the instruments are all accessible and intuitive. I live in a mountainous area and passing up hills as always been cumbersome....until I bought the 2009 Ram 1500 with 5.7L Hemi. I've driven many Dodge trucks as well as competitors and can honestly say that the new Ram the clear winner.
Rams are neat
I have the 5.7L Ram. This is my third Ram and the one I should've had two trucks ago. At least this ones lives up to the reputation of a Hemi. It has much more power than previous year Hemis, handles better, brakes better and has more finishing touches like the 4 pin trailer connect mounted into the bumper, tire pressure sensors, box rail protectors (stuff that should've been standard years ago). My 09 Ram is 2mpg better (average driving) than my 07 was. The factory dual exhaust is perfect, it looks great and has just enough of a throaty tone when you step on it but quiet when you're cruising. The response time of the MDS system is quicker than my 07 was, no lag between 8&4 cyl modes.

MOPAR Scores Big-Time
I have been a Dodge/Mopar fan for years. I've owned many Jeeps, '99 Dakota, '04 Dakota, '04 Durango. They have al been better then the previous. I traded an '04 durango[family vehicle] and '02 silverado for this '09 Ram 4x Crew. It rides better than the durango and is more versitle than the silverado...with the incentives Chrysler had I am actually saving front end monthly payment cash from previously having two notes. This thing is a dream, only 3k on the clock. No complaints or critique yet. I will update my thoughts as time goes by this year
Does it get any better than this?
I have been driving Dodge trucks since 1995 and this truck is the best so far! I also own a "2002" Chevy 2500 Silverado and let tell you I would buy another Dodge before I would ever buy another Chevy! Oh Howie, I love my heated steering wheel, especially when it's 0' outside! I don't think you have to worry about that in California. One thing that is really great are the options for the different traction settings. ( ESP, All wheel drive, Four wheel high, and Four wheel low) It just proves that when an American car manufacturer puts their minds to it, they can design a superior truck!
2009 is a huge upgrade
Previously owned a 2002 Ram 1500 that I had no trouble with, but it was going to need some work eventually and I got a great deal on the new 2009, which after driving it, there was no disputing its superiority. I bought the SLT Sport Crew Cab and it looks great, performs great and is a true joy to drive. The head-turning of others does not get old.
